Reflectors, for example, for lamps used for technical lighting purposes, having a surface which is resistant to mechanical and chemical attack and has high total reflectivity. The body (10) of the reflector, which is, for example, a rolled aluminum product such as a foil, a strip of a sheet, has a surface layer in the form of a layer system containing (a) a pretreatment layer (11), onto which is deposited (b) a functional layer (12) with silanes, having organo-functional groups, of a metal compound, and onto which is deposited (c) a metal-containing reflective layer (13).

The invention concerns a process of manufacturing optical components. A replication tool, a sub-master or a replica is manufactured using a structured element (for example a master) and a substrate. A structure of the structured element is replicated into liquid or plastically deformable material disposed at a first place on said substrate, then hardened to make it dimensionally stable, whereon the structured element is removed. These replicating, hardening and removing steps are repeated for a second, third, etc. place on said substrate the same structured element.

A columnar spacer is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate for holding a liquid crystal layer between them. The columnar spacer is formed in such a manner as to have an area superposed, in each pixel, with the contact hole formed in the first substrate and an area not superposed with said contact hole. Even in the case where the first and second substrates attached to each other are displaced from each other, the columnar spacer never falls in the contact hole and a desired cell gap can be positively secured. Also, since the columnar spacer is not located in the contact hole, no margin for substrate attachment is required to form the contact hole in the first substrate, thereby improving the open area ratio effective for display for improved display quality.

A method of forming selected Group III-nitride regions uses a masking layer to cause differential growth between single crystal Group III-nitride material and polycrystalline Group III-nitride material. The epitaxial process is chosen to provide vertical growth so as to allow for replication of the mask edges at the defined limits for the selected regions. By using an etchant that is selective between polycrystalline and single crystal Group III-nitride material, the polycrystalline material (that grew over the mask layer) can be removed, leaving only the single crystal Group III-nitride (that grew over the exposed substrate material).

The invention discloses a processing method of a differential type high-precision accelerometer. The accelerometer comprises an upper electrode cover plate, a movable silicon structural assembly with a beam-mass block structure and a lower electrode cover plate which are sequentially connected from top to bottom. The method comprises the following steps of: processing the upper electrode plate and the lower electrode plate by using a glass sheet or a monocrystalline silicon wafer as a substrate; processing the movable silicon structural assembly with the beam-mass block structure by using a double-device-layer SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) monocrystalline silicon wafer as a substrate; and connecting the upper electrode plate and the lower electrode plate which are processed by using the substrates with the movable silicon structural assembly based on a bonding mode. In the invention, only one monocrystalline silicon wafer is adopted to process the movable silicon structural assembly, thereby avoiding the condition that a frequently used high-temperature silicon-silicon bonding process is used for preparing the movable silicon structural assembly, reducing the process difficulty, lowering the highest process temperature and eliminating bonding stress problems introduced by silicon-silicon bonding; and moreover, the beam-mass block structure has generality.

At each of mutually different multiple focal positions, focal adjustment parameter values are obtained from images of standard particles made of the same substance. Each focal adjustment parameter value is figured out as any one of the ratio between the density value around the center of the standard particle image and the density value around the outline, the difference therebetween, and the density value around the center. The in-focus position is adjusted on the basis of the relationship between the obtained focal adjustment parameter values and the focal positions. Moreover, on the basis of the relationship between the focal adjustment parameter values and the focal positions, the parameter values are converted into focal positions, and the focal positions and dispersion thereof are used to check the displacement of the in-focus position and the thickness of the sample liquid.
